Punches and chairs were thrown between the supporters on the streets of Paris.
Footage shared by Footy Away Days on X showed a chaotic scene outside a bar in the French capital, with the fan behind the camera muttering: ‘F***ing hell’, with chaos unfolding.
Stools were being used as weapons and launched in all directions, while punches were thrown in violent scenes.
It is unclear whether the melee was pre-meditated or what cause the mayhem in the first place.
It comes just 24 hours before Villa’s biggest game in years with the Midlands club having not reached this stage of Europe’s elite competition since the 1982-83 campaign.
That has inspired an estimated 3,000 Aston Villa fans to travel to Paris this week. With only 2,000 tickets allocated for the Premier League club, 1,000 of those fans are ticketless and will watch the game in the city’s bars.
